Humanities and social sciences in the primary school

This unit examines how primary school students can learn to understand the world through history, economics, geography and citizenship education using single-disciplinary, multi-disciplinary and integrated lenses on the world. This includes understandings of the range of cultural experiences within both Australian and global communities. You will engage with theoretical, philosophical, pedagogical viewpoints and assessment strategies that address issues related to themes within the Australian Curriculum and related state curriculum frameworks, including cross curriculum priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, environmental sustainability, and engagement with Asia and the world. The unit develops understanding of how educators can embrace diversity and teach how natural and human events shape our societies and places within them.
